how is it on Ragnarok?

Is it busy? Lots of shouts? Events?
Are shouts in english or rather a mix of french and german?
Im so curious how it is there *.*

Its nice. There are a lot of people who speak english. granted there are many french and germans there. It seems very active and buzzing with people, that might be because its the first day but we will see.

Some activity yes, a lot of the activity is just LS recruitment shouts, but there is some content shouting goin down :D

used the search function to get some numbers today, at 8pm gmt population was ~600 (~250EN ~240FR 60DE 50JP), when I checked 2 hours after the start of the server (around 5pm gmt), more than 200JP were connected.

think we can conclude we'll be around 1000 players here.

SO Far so good, I can understand the people i have met. They also seem helpful enough. I was able to finish my PLD 35 quest!!!... I was worried when it was the only server left to chose from not even 12 hours in to opening the server choice. I wounder if that means that SE won't be adding some more servers in the near future.

so many shouts SE considering a new kind of jewelry.. earplugs XD

I just hid shouts this evening,i will test the waters tomorrow to see if it is safe to unhide them lol,was crazy!

Mmmm...pancakes...

Very quiet, another maint right when I have time to play, 3rd day in a row. Maybe I should get another job lol.

The server seemed quite action packed yesterday. There was a lot of LS recruitment spam, and much of it in non-English languages, in the Ul'dah shout channel, but there were also quite a few groups forming and I managed to get a Cutter's Cry AF run in before logging out for the night. So far I'm quite happy with how active the server is during EU hours.

I'm really happy to hear that. I'm not on Ragnarok since I didn't want to split with my friends on Palamecia, but I really wanted Ragnarok to succeed. I would most definitely make an additional character on Ragnarok if SE would get rid of the extra character fee. Ragnarok has to be the most global server, which sounds great!

So far I'm very disapointed with Ragnarok : I know the server is very young, but except for the LS recruitment spam in every language, it's quite dead. Finding a party or even buying stuff at the "AH" is just a paine, and I really regret to have left my old server for this one. I was having a lot of fun on Selbina, since I moved I'm bored and really wished I stayed on an US/JP server.

Wait and see as we say, but if it keeps like this, I'm fleeing Ragnarok at the first occasion.

Most shouts by now are about content, not LS recruitment.
The server is emptier than Lindblum was between 01:00-14:00 European time(Lindblum was one of the most active servers), but it's totally packed during EU prime time:)
Countless shouts for all kinds of content all the time and at least 10-20 replies whenever I shout for members for exp party/Ifrit/Moogle/AF/dungeons.

I logged in at 10 am and still found people to do stuff with, mainly from different time zones though and with longer waiting time for replies, but it worked:cool:

Main language used is English, in shouts as well as in party chat.
Ocassionally some French but never met someone who didn't understand English yet.

The AH really is horrible though, lots of things are not available at all, others are way too expensive (like 200k for a stack of arrows..:mad:)
Prices are starting to adjust though and more and more stuff is added to the AH:)

I enjoy Ragnarok very much, probably because I knew beforehand how much the population varies on an EU server depending on the time of the day.
Unlike some others..:rolleyes:

+1 to everything you said Meo.

It's a huge improvement over Saronia as far as EU hours go. It's probably horrible for JP and NA, though.

Mina-Tirith I totally agree with u , u only have to create a mule to check YOURSELF the reality.

I came from a server with a low EU population. I'm having a lot of fun at Ragnarok, there is no time when shouts are not filled in few seconds, there is even people waiting for someone to drop the party to join. I already did even hard content, like Cutter's Cry where you need to know at least with who you are playing and I reach the success. I would like to say that as many bad things like some items in AH being expensive or not, missing or not, we have a good ammount of people on this server and they are willing to play with anyone. Right now I'm typing, I see shouts for parties 30-35, 40+, DH, Ifrit, Moogle and even some JP shouts. What I most care if is during my play time, that is not short (tbh), has people online to do stuffs, and this I can have here. I'm happy in Ragnarok and I hope this server gets even more better til 2.0, so far it's my home and I'm glad I came here.

I have put up with all the hold-ups & short falls of this game. I have defended FF 14 loyaly since beta. I blindly defended FF14 through the first year when it was truly horrible. SE really did a FANTASTIC job with the AF/new raid update, but then they go and do something as idiotic as merging servers. I will take full responsibilty for moving my character of my own free will. But did SE plan to make a freaking junk server such as Ragnarok. I can live with the language barrier, hell I was excited about the change in culture and having an earlier raid times, but it is a ghost server. I just logged on and did a search of all areas lvl 30-50 and there were less than 200. ORZ.... Thank you SE for making the camel that broke the STRAWS back.

Funny, I just did a search for 50 only and it was over 200. I guess you play during non-EU hours.

The server is horrible most of the time, during EU prime time it's just ok....
I have to agree with some of the people above that I really regret making my character move to this server

and I will leave this server asap
